She could have at least cancelled earlier.

    I was going to ask 'Who is Katie Price' but read on and found out. Is she a plastic doll of some kind? she looks totally unnatural !
  • PiperPiper
    Ceka - that comment made me crack up....
  • StirlingStirling
    She is unnatural (and rather vile!)

    I feel so sorry for the fans queuing in the rain. I've torn up one of her books (in Oxfam!) it's quite theraputic. I would like to think I would have still gone to the signing - hey I've gone to work with flu before!
  • LizLiz
    Why would you want to spread flu?
  • StirlingStirling
    Pay the bills!
  • KazKaz
    Dammit. I left Bournemouth to spend the weekend in Surrey - and still I didn't manage to miss her!

    If I were a fan and heard my idol was ill and an event was being cancelled (even at short notice), I'd feel sorry for them - not rip the books up. They don't sound like real fans - maybe something cooked up by the press?
  • StirlingStirling
    She likes to cook up a lot of things in the press!

    So much for swine flu, she's in the papers today flying off on holiday (how? You can't fly if you've had a cold in the last week) Sounds like she couldn't be arsed to turn up to me!

    From the quality of the writing (yes I looked again!) I doubt people are buying this book because of the story!

    *Expect more barbed comments over the next few days, I have a very painful infection in my tonsils!
  • doradora
    Are you a fan then Stirling? Is that why you are so cross about it?
  • StirlingStirling
    Have you tried reading her books?

    I'm cross that someone would treat their fans so disparagingly. This is no way to treat people who are paying customers.
  • doradora
    No I haven't Stirling. I though they were just join-up-the-dots numbers 1-10 type books, didn't realise there was a story in there.

    When I saw her, years and years ago on a TV chat show, I thought she was all right, as a person. But I haven't seen anything recent with her in, so can't really comment.
  • StirlingStirling
    You should try (you'll get a laugh!) Then you'll get really irritated that crap like that gets published so maybe not!

    I thought it was nasty of her to reveal her recent miscarriage when she and her husband had agreed to keep it secret. As far as I'm concerned she's anti-women.

    Why didn't the person who wrote the books come and sign them instead?
  • StirlingStirling
    A very good point! (he/she must have a great sense of humour!)
  • KazKaz
    Yes I do (have a great sense of humour). I would happily have turned up on Saturday had KP not got me to sign a 'gagging order', so I'm not legally allowed to admit it's me wot wrote it. Oops, I'm in serious trouble now!

    Thats so funny Kaz!

    I might get put in 'the cage' to do battle with her new boyfriend - h-help!
  • cekaceka
    How's your throat, Stirling? Hope you're better.
  • StirlingStirling
    Still a bit rusty (and seem to be a bit deaf in the left ear!)
  • CarolCarol
    I seriously wonder what other bits are artificial- I have serious doubts about her brain...
    Her ex-hubby was on The One Show the other evening and he was clearly the more switched on to reality...
  • StirlingStirling
    I hope he gets custody of the kids.
